Okay, nice! Thanks M1

I’ve heard they sometimes grant exceptions but I’d rather be safe and get it myself, if they allow this anyway. Anyone have experience doing this? I’m sure others would be similar to Hilton as well

It's based on total nights so checking in and out is less valuable than you think.

Nope. I did this for SPG earlier this year

Omg yes, Starwood shuffle. When I was in DC M-F I’d switch between the Sheraton National and Sheraton Crystal City every day. 4 stays > 1 stay. All those points and status went to our 5 week honeymoon in South America
